I’d like you all to know that I recently started http://collaterallettuce.wordpress.com/, because I like eating. I should probably like knowing exactly what I’m eating more, but if I started asking street vendors questions that go beyond the usual “no ice” and “seriously, no ice,” a new hobby might need to be found. Unusual beverages will be thrown in the mix too– ever try to drink a bird’s nest?– after all, what complements a dinner of horse and daffodil better than pineapple juice? PLENTY OF THINGS. Equally important, BuildingMyBento will carry on with the non-edible aspects of travel, so please stay tuned.

Thanks in advance for your questions, comments, and for those of you already with full stomachs, thanks for your subdued excitement.
